An Increase in the Duty on Sumatra
Tobacco.


Tobacco.
y Washington correspondent of The
New York star says that reports re-
garding frauds and evasions of the
law show a curious state of affairs.
The duties are as follows:
LEAF tobacco, of which So per cent.
"iS of the requisite size and of tie
"neceSSry tincncSS of texture to be
"suitable for wrappers, and of which
"more than 100 leaves are required to
"Welgh pound, if not stemmed,
"seventy-live cents per pound; if
stemmed, 81 per pound"
The absurdity of the law, and the
opportunity afforded by it to evade
payment of the correct duties will be
understood by the following explana-
ton: y package of all wrapper tobacco
is imported. The statute saws that if
1t con aims 50 per cent. light and 20
per cent. heavy leaf, the whole is
dutiable at - cents per pound. An
examiner is bound to interpret the law
literally. Consequently should the bale
be S4s per cent. light and the la!ance
heavy weight, the converse of the 2bove
is correct, and it must be assessed at
thlrty-tlve cents per pound.
Importers were not slow to take ad-
vantage of the loophole provided for
them by the trainers of the tariff act.
But of course there were quite num-
Der who were not posted, and many
who from motives of conscience would
not do SO, and they were quickly driven
from the field. One of the most hon
orable men i'll New York city is among
them; and on the other hand several
"honored citizens have accumulated
large sums of money by taking advan-
tage of the unfortunate phrase ologv OF
the law. Under this method of pack
ing and in consequence of ruling of
the treasury department, the law has
been evaded down to Il recent period.
| 1t appears that all Sumatra tobacco
is shipped to Holland The merchants
dealing with this country have it
specially prepared, chiefly in Amster-
dam. to meet the exigencies of our
tariff act. Since 1888 heavier leaf
has been discovered in Sumatra, and
it is presumed the last tariff bill was
| instrumental in its discovery. Bv
combining the leaf with the Others
the law is easily evaded. This con-
dition of things was brought to the
attention of the department through
the enterprise and intelligence of a
treasury employee making investi-
cations in Europe in 1885. Mr.. Man
ming was quick to see the neces-
Slty of change. He issued new in
structionS, directing that the contents
of the bales should be separated &C
cording To their class. Examiners
were ordered to find out the contents
by inspection, if they could. Other
wise to examine the bales leaf by leaf.
The latter method has been carried out
IN some instances, and il was found
to virtually destroy the tobacco SO far
as its use for wrapping is concerned.
| This was the cause of much complaint
at first. But the reports show that
none are now heard of. The reasons
therefor are not far to seek. Thy are
simply these: The importers now bring
over the tobacco packed in proper
form, on which the duty is assessed
without difficulty, and no necessity
exists for the continuance of the svs-
tenn of examination ordered by Mr..
| Manning

towns not adjoining said wards, in
violation of the state constitution,
which provides that the districts shall
be composed of contiguous territory.
